My luck in the two recent banners in Fire Emblem Heroes has been disappointing. More specifically, I've been trolled twice.

When the new Ayra banner came up, I didn't get anything particular for my free summon, but when I went for a full summoning session. I was given five red orbs. Seemed like my chances of pulling Ayra looked pretty good, right?

Nope!

Soleil (my first copy of her as well) ended being my 5-star from the summoning session, and ended up getting terrible IVs: +Res -Spd. Well, this is disappointing. She doesn't have anything to fodder off other than her Firesweep Sword, but since I have no units that I can benefit from it, I'm probably sending her home. Still, I'm mad that she trolled me of my Ayra. On the bright side, at least I finally got another Roy so that I can finally give Triangle Adept to my PA!Inigo.

Then, the new Fates banner came up. I really want Kinshi Hinoka from it since I like her character and she is shaping up to be a fantastic unit, so I started sniping all the silver orbs I could find...

...and the best I got with all the orbs I had was this disappointment.

My first Elise. Seems nice, right? She can make a great healer on a Horse Emblem team...

...only this Elise has the worst IV spread possible for her: +Def -Atk. Yet another character who trolled me from the one I wanted.

Much like Soleil, Elise doesn't have much to fodder away, with the exception of Live to Serve. Thus, I have a feeling I'll be sending her home too.

Man, two characters that I'm not fond of just had to troll me of the units I wanted. They both left a bitter taste in my mouth. Honestly, both situations left me feeling like this:

I swear, if a similar experience happens to me again in the next Legendary Hero banner (assuming the next Legendary Hero is indeed Takumi and thus giving me a reason to save tons of orbs for that occasion), I'm going to be quite unhappy.

I got this like almost an hour ago.
...Not Ayra.

You got Siegbert. He's one of the best Red Horses you can get. Don't you be complaining, young man.

Ooo, some new details on Rama! I didn't think he had a Gate of Babylon-style of attacking.

I also read a bit of his bio in that reddit link. I didn't know he's an animal lover and has such a soft spot for them.

Looks like Rama and I have something in common!

I don't think it's necessarily a Gate of Babylon attack. Rather, it's more like Gate of Babylon without the major sword rain spamming. Basically, it's alot like when Gilgamesh pulled out Sigurd's sword Gram to battle Saber in the Fate route or when he pulled out Ea out of Gate of Babylon in Fate/Zero. It basically allows Rama to have access to a whole bunch of powerful weapons, but compared to sword spamming them like Gilgamesh, Rama would probably be like those Chinese action movies where he's constantly switching weapons while doing tons of blocks and dodging. Also, something interesting to point out...

Martial Blessing: A
Rama, whose fate is to defeat Demon King Ravana, does not only display excellence in swordsmanship, but with all forms of martial arts as well. Also, due to this, he can bring out his prided spear and bow with powers close to a Noble Phantasm while as a Saber.

Basically, besides allowing him to be like a Three-in-One Knight class, as he will be good with Swords, Lances and Bows, this is a big difference between him and Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is not good with wielding his weapons in his Gate of Babylon, as pointed out by Shirou. Rama is actually very good at fighting with his. He can basically give Gilgamesh a run for his money at close-combat. And much like Heracles, Saber isn't even Rama's best class. It's Archer, once again much like Heracles.

Also, yeah he does like animals. I think it's a reference to the moment where when he and his armies were getting ready to fight, the squirrels wanted to fight, even if they could only use things like pebbles, sticks and etc. After the fight was done, Rama went to the squirrels that fought with them and healed them. It's rather adorable.

Keep them, even if it's just to fodder them. Any Sword Flier or Glass Cannon Red Sword like Hana can benefit from Firesweep Sword greatly. For Elise, besides Live to Serve, you also want her Gravity+ weapon. Gravity+ is insanely good.

Oh god. So I got reminded that Icons is a thing.

So as a recap:

- Artstyle is still horrible
- Gunslinger is the only remotely interesting character
- Other movesets are still creatively bankrupt
- Zhurong is the worst offender, literally copying basically all of Marth's attacks and animations except for his side special
- Wavedashing literally makes the Wavedash Games logo, which is the most circlejerky thing imaginable
- Marth Function vs Fox Function Infinite

Like, I just don't get it. You're already trying to appeal to the Melee crowd by giving it Melee physics. If you copy literally everything else, there's no point in playing it.

I rate it a Shovelware Offbrand Garbage/10

 

[Tree Gelbman]

That tornado move on Zarya meets Zangief is just embarrassing looking.

 

[Chrono.]

Sinnoh intros were posted this time.

These ones are pretty okay, most of the songs here are better than the Hoenn ones imo. Only weak ones are the first and last one. Editing wise these are pretty much what you'd expect. Something new, however, is that by Battle Dimension they started adding credits to their intros. Which I think has stuck ever since.

It is like they tried, but at the same time didn't try at all.

Dear Wavedash/Alpha, I don't give a **** about your literally re-skinned Maylay, but I would be thankful if you give me the sauce of the Sailor Moon image.

I would say I was terrible for laughing at this, but I legit found Mighty No. 9 crashing funny for the exact same general reasons so compared to that I assume my chuckling here is absolutely peachy.

"Hey, I can make a better game than the guys that make another game because all the people who are looking for something to turn to during their scapegoating episodes say so! *drives off a cliff*"

Starting to watch the footage mostly just makes me want to play Smash Bros because it's the exact same thing but way more aesthetically cleaned up.

I thoight the point if icons was "project m's ganeplay but not using anyone else's IP"

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

It is.

But presentation matters a lot in fighting games. It's one of the reasons MvCI died as quickly as it did, actually.

If the artstyle is gonna be so meh combined with every character having some horribly uninspired movesets that are basically just copy-pasted from Smash (aside from Gunslinger), you're not gonna have a great game and it's not gonna survive for very long in the competitive scene.

Best series hands down.
I felt the songs started to feel meh from that point, still good tho.


Dawn is best companion btw, don't @ me :V

This 3rd case in Ace Attorney is absolutely crazy with twists, the suspects and the trial.

I only just finished the second day of trial but the twists to the case there were pretty good when you piece things together.

I tried watching the video when Alpha released it but when I saw how it looked and then the fact the two characters they were using were literal Marth and Fox clones, I just gave up.
Like, it's literally just a reskinned Melee and I don't see anything that improves on it. I can bet my ass L-Cancel is a mechanic in the game.

Remember how Rivals of Aether borrowed a lot from Smash but ultimately made an unique game and experience with characters and mechanics that feel fresh? Wavedash Games doesn't.

Before XY I would've agreed on that best series claim.

Though Sun & Moon seems really good, need to watch more of it at some point.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Icons would look better if it wasn't desperately trying to use Overwatch's artsyle.

 

[A Distant Demon]

movesets that are basically just copy-pasted from Smash

but. . .isnt that the point?

 

[Chrono.]

but. . .isnt that the point?

It is the point.

It's makes it an unattractive game too.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

but. . .isnt that the point?

Just because it's the point of it doesn't make it good.

It's uninspired, it's unattractive, everything looks generic...

Not to mention it has a rival (pun intended) with Rivals of Aether, which pretty much does the same kind of stuff as Icons, but much better.

 

[Mythra]

Melee: Play with your favorite Nintendo stars
PM: Play with your favorite Nintendo stars and whoever or whatever you want by using the same mechanics as Melee
Icons: Play with Overwatch OCs using the same mechanics as Melee

I mean, is easy to see the unattractive one.

 

[Aurane]

I would make a Melee-centralized game except get all my ideas from Brawl.

I call it: Brelee!

 

[A Distant Demon]

IDK it always seems like people have always been way too worked up about a game basically made to get around IP laws. Project M wasn't particularly original and this is just a way to get it into tournaments without nintendo/twitch shutting them down.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

poor swamp...i feel like people are taking crack shots at him thanks to shiny, he still is a teacher guys, at least give the guy some form of respect for it

hes doing some pretty good stuff, not deserving to be a joke

You forget, as a teacher, we must now endlessly mock Swamp, teachers get no repsect

If the ‘Muricans vote for Trump getting a second term, any fate I have left in this country will be gone.

HAH! I knew it, you are a fake Canadian, eh.

sounds like a new thread title

half yes, half love life
take your pick

I do not like this gif, Alice should only be hugged by Shinobu, and Youko should go hug Aya instead.

Looks like Swamp is the harem protagonist now

Well, if Swamp is the new harem protagonist, time for your pointlessly tragic ending.

I mean, yeah, the concept is great.

But the execution...

 

[Aurane]

>only one person liked my clearly setup pun

This is okay.

You eventually come mrawling back to my concept.

I'm sorry I'll stop now.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Project M had a lot of creative takes on movesets.

Look at Ivysaur.

Look at Lucario.

Look at Charizard.

Look at Squirtle.

Look at Lucas.

Look at Sonic.

Look at Wario.


Sure they were still based on games but the movesets were new, fun and had a lot of creativity and thought put into them.

It's because of that creativity that I was really curious to see what they could do when they didn't have to keep movesets true to character.

Seeing, Melee Fox but uglier and Chinese Lucina with Ike's Quick Draw is not what I had in mind. Gunslinger Guy is the only one that works for me. I wouldn't even mind characters who were based on Fox and Marth. But they're so close to the source material it just shows that they frankly don't want anything new or interesting.

They don't care about stepping into the spotlight and showing the world what they can do. They just want Melee. And when the competitive smasher stereotype is obsessing over one game in the franchise... It's disappointing on a personal level.

You know it’s bad when not even Shiny liked it,

 

[mario123007]

No, seriously, I also hope we get news soon. But it's fun to theorize for a bit, aslong as you don't go overboard with it. *COUGH**COUGH* the Smash fanbase *COUGH**COUGH*.

But with no reusable source at all... .how can we do that? lol.

I also keep thinking more about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 theories

Spoiler: My thoughts on... A XC2 character

The more I think of it the more I think that Adam,Mythra/Pyra's driver during the Aegis, could have done links with the Architect.
That's right even though it may sound impossible but I think either Adam was being created by Architect... Or once again Architect created or disguise as Adam to test out the humanity.

I mean from how Adam did after the Aegis and how the game never implicated that he's dead.... And he appears in Rex's memories.

Also we only see his eyes and not his hair makes it more skeptical.

But this is all just mere thinking, there no solid support or evidence.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

This might be the most savage burn I've ever read on this website.
